Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones talks about what to do when your daughter takes something personally that seems small to you. Whether it’s a friend walking past her, a teacher correcting her, or a comment she can’t stop thinking about, Melissa shares why you don’t have to understand why something hurt before you can acknowledge that it did.

Tune in to discover:

• Why acknowledging her feelings doesn’t mean agreeing with her interpretation
• What to say instead of “It’s not that big of a deal”
• How listening first can help you understand what she actually needs
• Why resilience isn’t about never being bothered—it’s about learning what to do with those feelings
• How to give your daughter space to process, gain perspective, and decide when to let something go

This episode is a reminder that sometimes your daughter doesn’t need you to make the moment smaller. She may simply need you to see that it mattered to her and give her room to figure out what comes next.

Melissa also shares a personal update from Be You Brand Live and her chapter in Be You Brand, Volume 3, “The Moment Someone Sees You: How Belonging Changes Everything.” Proceeds from the book help support scholarships for girls through Girls Positivity Club.
